Review of "Sphere"!!

This is from DMG in NYC:



Hammer Of Hathor is Heather Vergotis and Mark Kaylor.  Instrumentation is unlisted but sounds like out-of-tune guitar with flute, saxophone and percussion amongst other instruments.  The music I can only best describe as being a lo-fi No-Wave influenced insanity which ranges from angular freak outs to end-of-the-world doom dirges. Perhaps if you imagined Arto Lindsay recording guitar on Sun Ra's "Strange Strings" that would paint a more vivid picture. A lovely recording that will be revisited many times over!  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! -Chuck Bettis/DMG

Holy cow downloads!

Well here are some interesting numbers!

Hammer of Hathor has now released 9 albums, typically of small run editions from 25-100 copies, most  
(but not all) of which are sold out.

I just checked the WFMU Free Music Archive where we have stuff available for download and much to my surprise we're almost at the 30,000 download mark!

Who are all these people downloading our music?  Who is listening to us right now?

Just wait, there's more to come!  Starting recording on Friday.....
